Of the six, only the food safety regime says in terms what a lapse does: if no renewal application is made before the expiry date, the Licensing and Registration Regulations, 2011 under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (as notified in 2011) require, on their words, the operator to stop all business activity at the premises, without any order of suspension.
